CHICAGO, Jan. ga desperate attempt
to burn up the Hotel Allen, small but
first-class European hotel. was made at an
early hour this morning by unknown incen-
diaries. The hotel is situated in the heart
of the city. OH the South side, at the cor
ner of Peck's court and State street. and
occupies the two upper floors of third
story, stone-front building. The lower
floor is occupied by a wealthy Italian
named Fred Raglen as a sample bar-room.
He is now travelling in Michigan for his
health, and his son is running the business.
Shortly after o'clock this morning Patrol
man Fitzgerald while passing noticed a
bright blaze from the bar. Bursting open
the door he found the room filled with
smoke, and flames springing up from differ
ent portions Of the room. The officer
Immediately turned in an alarm, and with
brother patrolman hastily ran up the main
stairway to the hotel and broke open the
doors of the guests rooms and succeeded in
rousng all the inmates, fifty in number
By this time the flames had crept to the
second floor and bid fair to destroy the en-
tire building. The fire department arrived
at this time, and after a short fight got the
uIe unu6r control. Inc guests, WHO SCOOu
sHIVERING AND PANIC-STR1C CKEN
in the streets, half clad and badly fright
ened. returned to their rooms and bundled
up their effects and left for other quarters
They were too badly scared to remain. The
fears for repetition of the blaze were well
founded. A hasty investigation disclosed
the fact that large quantities of petroleum
and kerosene had been literally distributed
throughout the building, and that
cotton batting saturated with oil had
been placed in many hooks and t-of-the-
way places of the hotel. The owner of the
building, Mr.. Peabody, and Mr.. Allen, of
the hotel, say they are ignorant of the per-
sons who made the attempt to destroy their
property, and have no idea why the deed
was done. The property is fully insured.
A damage to the amount of $4,000 was
sustained. The matter has been placed in
the hands of the police, who will endeaYor
to ferret the incendiaries out. This is the
second attempt to burn hotel in this city
within the past two months. A wholesale
holocaust was narrowly ayerted in the Con-
tinental hotel fire seven weeks ago. 1t is
thought the incendiaries are the same in
both instances Ten rooms were fired at
the same time in the Continental, and it
was due to the heroic attempts of the fire
men that many lives were not sacrificed.
No arrests were made. although full in
vestigation followed. In all probability the
Allen hotel fire investigation will result in
a similar manner.

Attention With profit.

Attention with Profit
WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-The unfinished
business of the senate is the agricultural
experiment station bill, but Mr.. Edmunds
intends to ask that it be temporarily laid
aside and the fisheries bill taken up to-
morrow. If assent is given. he will try to
secure action upon the latter bill tomorrow,
or, at the latest, Tuesday night. Mr. Beck
will make an early effort to prevent the
further postponement of the bill to prohibit
members OF congress from acting as rail-
road attorneys, and as he has made conces-
slons to the convenience of other senators
a number of times when it seemed to be his
right to insist upon the consideration of the
measure. he is likely to find his
opportunity during the week. The
British eXtradition treaty is the
unfinished business of the secret
session and the first convenient day will be
devoted to its consideration. In the house
of representatives the Pierce-Page (Rhode
Island) contest case will be disposed of to-
morrow and the river and harbor bill will
then be taken up. There are three appro-
priation bills now on the calendar, namely.
the diplomatic the postal and the District
OF Columbia bills, and there is an accumu-
latlon OF important measures of general
legislation, among them the pleuro-pneu-
mona bill, the Pacific railroad funding
bill, the naval reorganization bill. the free
ship bill and the territorial admission bills,
whose sponsors may contest the right of
succession to the river and harbor bill,
should that measure be acted upon before
the end of the week.

Run creek, which, during thaws in winters.
is swollen into rushing torrent of large
volume, and empties itself into the

Bertha Farrell, aged 4 years. who was
seated in handsled, slid into it. Her
sister Blanche, aged 10, jumped in after
her, and both were swept into the sewer.
A rush was made for the other end of the
sewer, and men secured by ropes, jumped
into the water and waited for the children
to appear Bertha came first under the
water, and Blanche followed on top.
When taken out both were apparently life

LIFE.SAVING ANIMAL.
The Wonderful Intelligence of a
IIasnificent New WfOundIandD Dog.

+. A. LaSSeter received yesterday from
Williamson county his celebrated New
foundland dog, Chief Doc, says the Nash
vile American. This handsome canine has
been spending the summer and early fall
near Franklin, and is in fine condition. He
is one Of the best specimens of his breeds in
the state OF Tennessee being son of
Bruno. the champion Newfoundland dog of
the world. The intelligence Of this ami
NAL is most remarkable.
A short time since Mt. Lasseter sent
small puppy into the Cumberland river
after a stick near the middle of the stream.
When the small dog had gone short dis
tance out he was seen by Doc. who infne-
diately plunged into the water, and. SWIM
ming rapidly toward him, grabbed his neck
and brought the little fellow to the shore.
This Doc did score of times, seeming to
think that the puppy was too small to go
for aught into the water.
Out at Franklin one day during the sum-
mer he was out on the road playing with a
lot OF children, when drunken man on q
horse came galloping along Doc realized
the danger the children were in and ran
up the road and tried to stop the horse by
jumping at the bride rein, but the
horse SHE'D around and the dog missed
his aim. The Intelligent brute
darted back to the place where were the
children; all of them had got out of the
road except little toddling two-year-old
infant, which was directly in front of the
plunging horse, Doc grabbed the child's
arm in his mouth and dragged it out of the
way just as the horse went by. A moment
later and the baby would have been killed.
1t was Docs regular custom during his
stay to lead horses and mules to- water every
morning. He'd take the bride reins in his
mouth and carry the beasts of burden a
quarter of a mile. and never failed to bring
them back. He is only about three years
Old. and is the largest dog in the state. it is
said. He is a well known character in
West Nashville, and a favorite with the
children. whose greatest delight is to find
him when he is not on duty and get in a
romp with him and make him perform
some of his MANY tricks

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-It is now certain
that Lucy Heidemeyer was poisoned.
Prof. Haynes. of the Rush Medical college,
has completed chemical analysis of her
stomach. He found traces of arsenic in
every vital part. 1t was administered in
such liberal quantities that the only Won
der is that the girl lived as long as she did.
Capt. Schaak has also ascertained that
Lawrence Laing, the girls step-father.
who is being held to await the result of the
investigation, lived for long while with a
celebrated chemist in Germany. and here
gained an extensive knowledge of the deadly
qualities of various poisons. Yesterday Prof.
Haynes began an analysis of the remains
of Krugs third wife, which were exhumed
for the purpose last Thursday. The officers
think they have strong case of circumstan-
tial evidence against Laing. The inquest
on the STEP daughter will be resumed this
weeek and inquiry redoubled as to the four
other deaths charged against Krug.

where the great puncheons are landed i.
forbidden to the approach of vessels, every

Fields Laid Bare by the Recent Far.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 23.-The following
crop summary will appear in this weeks
issne Of the Farmers Review: The heavy
rains which set in on the night of Jan. 21
prevailed throughout nearly the whole win
ter wheat belt, and resulted in laying bare
wheat fields over large areas. Without
second covering of snow the crop is in
certain amount of peril, but up to the close
of Jan. 90 the correspondents have made no
returns of resulting damage. The reports
from Iowa. Indiana and Michigan continue
to be almost uniformly favorable. the latest
returns showing that the fields had been
amply protected to the approach of the
midwinter rain and storm, and that the
grain was looking well. The reports from
Missouri and Illinois are not uniformly
favorable. Some of the Southern Illinois
and some of the Western Missouri counties
report an unfavorable outlook. The re-
turns from Butler. Chautauqua, Cherokee.
johnson, Lyon, Pottawattamie, Salem and
Wallace counties, in that state. show that
fields are not protected and that the grain is
looking poorly.
